How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Cracks can allow water ingress and expose live parts. Treat as a safety issue even if the charger still works.
- Step 1 – Inspect damage: Determine whether cracks extend near cable entries, seams, or mounting points.
- Step 2 – Temporary protection: If rain is expected, consider temporarily covering the unit (without sealing vents) and avoid use until repaired.
- Step 3 – Do not tape over vents: Avoid blocking any designed ventilation openings.
- Step 4 – Enclosure replacement (technician): A technician should isolate power, remove the charger, and transfer internal components into a new Pod Point enclosure or replace the unit as per manufacturer guidance.
- Step 5 – Re‑test: After enclosure replacement, perform full safety and functional tests.
